Wild Diehl Mods finish on Friday the 13th
Bolland DQed after contact with Swartzlander coming to checkered
Dave Murdick scores fourth win after green-white-checkered restart
Ellenberger wins 4th, Miley and McPherson each score 5th win

Sarver, PA (July 13, 2012) Friday the 13th was definitely in full effect as Brian Ellenberger (Ti22 Sprints) and Jared Miley (Precise Lates) win red & cautions riddled features. But the real chaos came in the Diehl Mods feature when a great race between longtime rivals Kevin Bolland and Brian Swartzlander was marred by a late race incident that resulted in Swartzlander spinning in turn four coming to the checkered flag and Bolland being disqualified for rough driving.  The field was re-racked for a green-white-checkered restart and Dave Murdick, whom inherited the lead, took his fourth feature win of the season.  Corey McPherson brought the Fab Four Racing portion of the night with his fifth feature win, while Paul Baccus won the Western PA Vintage Dirt Modified feature as part of Nostalgia Night.
